Lara completed her Bachelor’s degree in English and Music from University College, Cork in 2019. She was highly commended in the Global Undergraduate Awards and, consequently, was awarded a scholarship to undertake her Master’s degree in English (Irish Writing and Film). For her M.A., she focused on Irish women’s writing and the sociopolitical significance of the adolescent girl in the Irish novel.
Born in Ireland, Lara came to the Netherlands in the middle of 2021 looking for the next adventure. She has enjoyed exploring her new city, Utrecht, and she hopes to spend some more time traversing the continent in 2022. In her free time, she can be found obsessively rewatching Glee, reading, or enjoying a coffee in Utrecht.
